Hi, not sure if this has already been asked but I have a question...
I've got a stock rooted galaxy nexus yakju with 4.1.1 on it and wanted to know if I make a nandroid backup of that, would I be able to flash cm10 on just to play about on it and then go back to that backup I made of everything stock when I've finished playing about?
Or would I not be able to flash a stock nandroid backup?
Thanks

Yeah you can make a nandroid backup, wipe and flash a new ROM, then go back to your nandroid and the phone will be exactly as it was when you made that backup.
Thanks dude, this is going to awesome

I'm sure you would have to, luckily amon ra is a great recovery utility and creates nandroid copies of your stock Rom on command, I have yet to try reverting to my stock Rom, but I can tell you this I restored a nandroid of my stock with no problems, but read my signature... S-off is why I can with no issue, not sure why as I am new to this also.

No, you have to be rooted.
Rooting is the easiest part.

Just take your time and follow all of the directions, only on the root link no need to rush you.

You flash whatever ROM you want over whichever ROM. JB, ICS has nothing to do with it.

Amon_RA does not make a recovery for the Galaxy Nexus. And there is no such thing as "S-OFF" for Samsung devices.

You either need root, or an unlocked bootloader. If you don't have one of the two, then no.
Didn't realize this was in the nexus section, must have been moved or my mistake, you seem knowledgeable with the nexus, please help him further.

Hello everyone.
Will recovery from a nandroid backup cause any problems? Ei. Im coming from a JB rom and want to restore to an ICS rom. Is it ok to restore straight away or do I have to flash the boot.img from the ICs rom. Currently away fron a PC that's why im checking.

You have to flash the correct boot.img for your nandroid backup

Hi all,
As a fellow XDA-er told me to reflash my rom I'm looking for it. I'm running stock JB yakju image from google. Is this flashable? If not, where can I get one? And will this affect OTA notifications?
You maybe able to find a cwd flashable stock ROM. The ones directly from Google need adb and familiarity with fastboot. Do you have a unlocked bootloader?

I already got experience with converting from yakjuxw to yakju so i am familiar with adb and fastboot. Is there a way to flash it without losing my data apps settings etc.?

Backup using titanium backup, copy the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard to your PC, then flash stock, drag it back and restore.

Backup using Titanium. Follow the yakju convert guide, and but skip flashing the userdata partition and recovery partition. Then boot into CWM and wipe data and cache. Then, you once you reboot, restore your titanium backup.

Isn't that what Google restores when you setup your device? And should i first let Google restore our should i skip that and let titanium restore first? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to backups
That never worked for me.
I always fire up Titanium Backups after factory resetting. Side note, do backup everything before you flash your phone.

Why not just go back to stock and wipe everything

You're obviously using a custom recovery. Just restore the backup you made before all this flashing.

I would just backup everything using your own recovery then flashing the stock firmware again and restoring your apps from the backup or if you want google now this rom has it working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836108
Use titanium back up to back up your apps. If on CWM 5.xx, use darkside super wipe, reflash stock rom or a any custom t989 rom. If help needed with flashing, explore the dev section for more info.

Do a factory reset. Just back up your apps before you do it.

Hey guys. I have a custom rom running on 4.3 can I flash a 4.4 rom over it or do I need to do some kind kind of reset or preparation? Thanks!

Best advice is to backup any apps and data you want with something like titanium backup, then boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, then wipe clean then flash ROM of choice. Then if there is anything you wish to restore from previous ROM use titanium, or however you backed things up. Note not everything likes to restore between android versions but most will be fine from 4.3 to 4.4
